Hello,

when my VISTA Host activates its Login-screen ( by time or by me pressing Win-L )
thereafter i can not type in my password, after the first key it does not work.
after activating the 'screen-keyboard' i can type it by using the mouse and login.
after having activated the 'screen-keyborad' Vista even makes a pop-up allowing
to select the 'screen-keyboad' and other functions to assist entry when i try to
login with a VM in background.
i am using Virtualbox 2.2.4 so may by this cold be fixed i a later version
however i did not find anything about this 'error' or a correction ...

if i would update to a later virualbox, will all guests continue to work ?
( even windows7rc1 and xp witout new activation ?? )

Hello,

a few minnutes ago i had an even worse problem while running an Ubuntu Guest with Guest-aditions ...
it was maximized but not fullscreen when i locked the keyboard by win-L
( because i am used to do so from work )
when trying to re-login the assistent telling to use the screen-keyboard appeared even while using
the screen-keyboard ... so no login this way ... !!
i tryed the 'change-user' button with the mouse ... the login-panel with all users appeared and fortunately
the login for the user wit the running guest worked from that panel even with the keyboard ...

to me it looks like a bug ... if 'only' the screen-savers ( or energy-save-mode ) logon panel
is displayed somehow the running guest interferes with the login ...

in 'change-user' mode it is more like the classic 'logon' panel from old NT ... it is a completely
seperate 'desktop' only for login ( when calling it i even see a black screen during my vista creating it )
so there is no interferencing ...
